Our solar park service will take you through planning to project delivery and beyond

The full scope of Ownergy’s service varies depending on your requirements and the approach you decide to adopt (in particular whether developing the project yourself or leasing the opportunity to a third party developer).

The initial stages are largely common, whatever approach is later adopted:

The rental you can get for allowing a solar farm on your land is likely to be better than most agricultural uses. However, giving away an option to a developer at an early stage may lock up your land without guaranteeing that the project will ever be installed as described here. Time is important as the tariffs go down in future years and so projects will become less attractive as time goes by.

It is much better to invest a little to get your own consent for the project, even if you then decide to lease the land out. You should make a profit on any costs you have incurred and will keep control of the process. We therefore strongly encourge you to continue with at least steps 2 and 3 below. If however you are inclined to sign an option agreement but want some advice, please feel free to talk to us.

Step 1 - Initial assessment

The first step of Ownergy's co-development service will give you a report on what the project might be worth including an indicative site rental figure.

Steps 2 and 3 - Survey, connection and planning consent

You will almost certainly get a better deal if you work with Ownergy to secure planning consent. You then still have the option to lease the land but might also choose the more lucrative option of co-developing the project. See fuller details of these steps here.

Step 4 - Project structuring

The main options you have to benefit from a solar park on your land are shown in Step 4 here.

Step 7 - Tariff management and system maintenance

Land lease

If you would prefer to simply lease your land to a solar park developer and benefit from the rental income, despite the fact that this would be far lower than even part-financing it yourself, then we may be able to assist you in this.
